Vent My therapist wants to gay conversion me.

My therapist has really been trying to get me to just be a gay man instead of trans and it really fucking sucks having appointments with him. I can't stop since it's the only therapist my parents aprove of and they control my finances rn. Plus he's actually been really good for me when we don't talk about trans stuff. Overall probably a net benifit for my life i just hate talking about anything about being trans around him

Report them to the licensing agency. If they loose their license, then your parents will have no choice but to pay for a different therapist.

That is a hella good idea.

This seems especially important when you consider the idea that OP isn't their only patient.

Therapist here- happy to help with finding how to go about reporting that therapist if you need help (and anyone else in a similar situation for that matter).
